| Abstract: | Predictions of maximum wave height Hmax are made at Cromer, Happisburgh and Lowestoft on the East Anglian Coast using the formula Hmax = CKRKS U2/g where C is a constant, KR, KS are refraction and shoaling cofficients, U is wind speed and g is the acceleration due to gravity. Comparisonsare made with the models of Darbyshire Draper (1963) and Bretschneider (1958) Using this wave prediction formula, an estimate of the wave climate in the southern North Sea is deduced for the gales of 2–3 January 1976. |
